Synopsis Herbal anti‐wrinkle cosmetics were formulated from ginkgo ( Ginkgo biloba ), a mixture of tea and rooibos ( Camellia sinensis and Aspalathus linearis ) and soybean ( Glycine soja ). These extracts were incorporated into the preliminary developed stable gel base with good preference. The gingko formulation was found to be more stable than the formula containing a mixture of tea and rooibos and the soybean formula. Clinical efficacies of the ginkgo formula and the formula containing a mixture of tea and rooibos were compared following 28 days of application. The ginkgo preparation increased skin moisturization (27.88%) and smoothness (4.32%) and reduced roughness (0.4%) and wrinkles (4.63%), whereas the formula containing tea and rooibos showed the best efficacy on wrinkle reduction (9.9%). In comparison to the tea and rooibos formula, gingko significantly improved skin moisturization ( P = 0.05).
